Cjk Compatibility Ideograph-f988 Letter Meaning
麗 (Unicode name: CJK COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-F988, code point U+F988) belongs to the Unicode “CJK Compatibility Ideographs” block. Characters in this block are mainly used for compatibility with legacy encodings and older text sources where a particular ideograph has a compatibility mapping.

If you encounter it in copied text, it typically refers to that specific compatibility ideograph rather than a general punctuation or mathematical symbol.
